rumors

The rumors are running quick and rampant about the next PlayStation 3 update, otherwise known as the XMB upgrade. If you haven’t kept up, this is the firmware that adds an in-game Xross Media Bar and 2D trophies to the system.

CVG says they have the full list of features in version 2.40 (that’s what the technical kids call it). It includes trophies, a gamer level system similar to Call of Duty 4 and in-game music? Nice … if it’s true.

The big difference between everyone is when this update will hit the Net. CVG’s sources say it’ll launch in three weeks, which puts it conveniently near E3. hmmm.

Meanwhile, Destructoid says rumors point to an announcement on Monday along with demos and such.

Frankly, I just want it now. But just to add to the rumor pool, I’ll say that I’ve heard that the new PS3 update cures cancer. There you go. Another rumor.
